This is a 1972 Plymouth Road Runner, in Lemon Twist yellow and originally powered by a 340 fed through an Air Grabber hood. Has rare V21/V25 longitudinal stripe option.

Restored circa 2005 by a previous owner. Featured in 7/2005 issue of Mopar Collectors Guide magazine. Prior history is foggy at best. The VIN and detective work used to reconstruct the car’s original factory configuration. The broadcast sheet and original fender tag (has repro) are MIA, as is the original engine.

During the restoration, the roof skin was replaced due to the prior installation of an aftermarket sun roof. This repair is undetectable. Looks like there have been some dent repairs to the quarter panels in the wheel lip. These are undetectable from the exterior, but if you know where to look you can find them in the trunk. All other sheet metal appears original and unmolested. Solid rust free floors and trunk. Currently has some rock chips and a couple of bubbles in the rockers.

I have owned the car for the past three years and have made extensive mechanical improvements during that time. This includes installing a stroker motor (spec's below), rebuilding the transmission (w/ big block spec guts), rebuilding the differential (w/ clutch SG and crush sleeve eliminator), refreshing the front suspension (new poly bushings).

During that time I have also driven it 1500 miles on the Hot Rod Power Tour, as well as to numerous shows hundreds of miles away. It serves as my fair weather ride to work. This is a car put together to be driven.

EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS.

The car is a joy to drive, and the stroker small block gives up nothing to a big block in terms of performance. VERY quick. Handles great.

Condition Details

Couple of rock chips on the quarters
Couple of bubbles on the drivers side rocker
Slight ding in the truck lid. Paintless dent repair guy could likely fix
Needs new cat whiskers on the door windows

Air Grabber is a little lazy opening. Probably has a slight leak in the actuator
Slight valve cover leak. I'll probably have it fixed prior to sale
It's got a few squeaks and rattles to be expected with a 41 year old car.

It'll blow the doors off most big block cars. Drive it anywhere with confidence. No disappointments. No surprises. No BS. You won't find a nicer one at this price.

High Res photos available on request. Keep in mind while viewing photos that the body work is over 8 years old, has held up exceptionally well, and should continue to look good for years to come. This car has not been shot with a fresh coat of cheap paint with lousy prep for purposes of resale like you see on so many of the "restored" cars you see on Ebay. It was done right.

Exclusions: The car is shown equipped with a wide band O2 sensor and gauge which will be removed prior to sale.

Standard disclaimer: No warranty stated or implied. Sold as-is, where-is. Pre-Purchase inspection strongly encouraged. Please review payment terms prior to submitting offer/bid. Car is for sale through other outlets, so listing may be ended at any time.

I may be contacted at EIGHT ONE TWO - FIVE EIGHT NINE -EIGHT FOUR FIVE THREE to respond to SERIOUS inquiries or to arrange an inspection. Please do not waste my time with ridiculous trade or low ball offers. No tire kickers or joyriders need apply.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
